The story

Ferrari 488

Ferrari revealed the 488 Pista at the 2018 Geneva show. Pista is Italian for “track”, and the car drew on the 488 Challenge and 488 GTE racing programmes.

Its V8 shares parts with the Challenge engine, including titanium connecting rods. Body changes included the S-Duct, which channels air through the bonnet for downforce.
